What else can I help you with?
What is a decreased sensitivity that occurs when a stimulus is continuously applied to sensory receptors called?
It all depends on the sensory receptors affected by continuous stimulus applied. It can cause complete damage to the receptors and or prevent them from receiving the correct signals.
A receptor's loss of sensitivity to a continuous stimulus is called?
A receptor's loss of sensitivity to a continuous stimulus is called sensory adaptation. This phenomenon occurs when sensory receptors become less responsive over time to a constant stimulus, allowing the nervous system to prioritize new and potentially important stimuli. As a result, individuals may become less aware of the continuous stimulus, focusing instead on changes in their environment.
Anything a organism responds to is a?
stimuli? yea that's what i thought but im not so sure...
What do you call a decrease in sensitivity to a prolonged stimulus sensory?
A decrease in sensitivity to a prolonged stimulus is called "sensory adaptation." This phenomenon occurs when sensory receptors become less responsive to constant stimuli over time, allowing the nervous system to prioritize new and potentially important changes in the environment. Sensory adaptation helps prevent sensory overload and enables organisms to focus on more relevant stimuli.
What are issued stimulus checks called?
Economic stimulus payments.
Anything that causes a response in an organism is called a?
Stimulus.
What is a stimulus which naturally elicits a response called?
A stimulus which naturally elicits a response is called an unconditioned stimulus. This type of stimulus triggers a reflexive or innate response without prior learning.
When you are in the presence of a stimulus for a long period of time what will the neurons do?
When exposed to a stimulus for an extended period, neurons typically undergo a process called adaptation or habituation. This means that they may reduce their response to the constant stimulus, leading to decreased firing rates and neurotransmitter release. This phenomenon allows the nervous system to conserve energy and prioritize responses to new or changing stimuli. As a result, the perception of the stimulus may diminish over time.
What are some of the signs of congenital and infantile glaucoma?
They include an enlarged eye, called buphthalmos; corneal swelling; decreased vision; tearing; sensitivity to light; and blepharospasm, or uncontrolled twitching of the eyes.
A reaction to a stimulus is called a?
A stimulus evokes a response.
A organisms reaction to a stimulus?
An organisms reaction to a stimulus is called RESPONSE.
What is the term for responding to a stimulus?
The term for responding to a stimulus is called a reaction or a response.
